Hot Weather Causes Fire on the
Powell $ Self Propelled Combine
The low percentage of humidity
last Friday was responsible for the
motor on the Roy Powell self pro
pelled combine setting fire to the
machine.
About >100 damage was
caused, mainly to the wiring system
and magneto. It is thought that the
strong east wind, blowing onto the
rear of the machine shortly after a
comer was turned, set fire to chaff
that had lodged on the warm motor.
Two chemical fire extinguishers were
quickly secured from the O. G. hayrs

purpose of driving his horses into the
barn he, at first, thought one of them
had been shot during the night. The
animal was found dead with a wound
in its forehead between its eyes and
a second wound in its flank. Mr.
Strong secured Tom Douma to cut
open the wounds and ascertain their
cause and had Sheriff Chrisman as
witness to the work. When inspected,
the wound in the forehead was found
to be only as deep as to the bone,
probably cused by contact with a
nail or similar object, and the wound
in the flank was found to have been
caused' after death, probably from
escaping gas formed by bloat. It
is now considered that the horse’s
death was enured by too much chaff,
it being in slightly over-fat condition.
